Ahh.. so much for the infamous three “noes” of Khartoum — no peace, no recognition, and no negotiation — that Arab states adopted in 1967, after Israel’s victory in the Six Day War that year. A little bit of the Red Sea just became safer, right opposite from Saudi Arabia too. Handy for surveillance when the "agricultural" aid personnel arrive. Nobel Peace Prize or Trump, or will he have to wait for 4 years until he isn't P O T U S?
//From August 29 to September 1, 1967, eight Arab heads of state attended a summit conference in Khartoum where they formulated the consensus that underlines the policies of most Arab states in conflict with Israel. Among other issues, the resolution called for the continued struggle against Israel. By adopting the dictum of no peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel and no negotiations with Israel (The 3 Noes), the Arab states appeared to slam the door on any possible progress towards peace.//
Meanwhile in one of the regular temper tantrums, upon hearing the news, Hamas fired rockets into the Gaza strip before dawn this morning. Apparently infuriated that someone else may get a share of the extortion money that they have got used to levering out of the Israelis in exchange for peace. Another stopping off call of port for the import of weapons closed down after they blew their own sky high.

I'd have been more inclined to praise Trump personally for this if it weren't so clear he was so interested in getting that praise. There's something distasteful about trying to celebrate the achievement by asking a foreign leader if he thought "Sleepy Joe" could have made the same deal. Netanyahu wisely kept his mouth shut, but Trump should clearly not have asked the question.
Yes, the Treaty is more important for its own sake, but I think people can be forgiven for thinking that Trump's more concerned about how it reflects on him than how it shapes the world.
And the other point is that Treaties of this nature require more than just one person to get involved, so it's inappropriate to credit just one person anyway.

Oh, yes -- the final point I'd like to make for the time being is that it's also stupid argue that "If Donald trump brought about world peace and found a cure for cancer the usual suspects would still have a visceral hatred for him," for two reasons:
1. This isn't world peace.
2. Trump won't discover a cure for cancer.
3. What do you think happened when Obama announced Treaties with Iran and Cuba? The "usual suspects" among his opponents viscerally condemned him for reaching those treaties, and spent the next few years trying to undermine it. Given that the JCPOA had the potential to take far greater steps towards world peace, this attempt to defend Trump from criticism smacks of hypocrisy.

Sunk, I don’t think Trump did too badly when Kim was rattling his sabre in North Korea - and in fairness, the US does have rather a history of civil unrest so to blame it all on the past four years is a bit short-sighted. Have a look.

Bahrain, UAE and Sudan have something else in common as well as their new found love of Israel. They all oppose Iran. The two former declared their peace shortly after Trump lifted an arms embargo on them, and sold them the latest attack aircraft.
So Trump’s objective is not peace in the middle east (which he could have done 4 years ago), but rather building a anti Iran coalition.
